Some of you may have voted for the JIRA Issue MISC-2727 "Terminate All Installation of any "Adult Content" filtering, Relocation, Banning, Viewer Modifications, Server Modifications". If you have no idea what this issue is about, it was to cast a vote on who thinks Lindens have a right to stop freedom of Adult Content & sims. Weather you like adult content or not is not the main issue, it's about our rights & freedoms. Please read attached notecard for more information, and how you can have a voice!

Dear Friends,

Some of you may have voted for the JIRA Issue MISC-2727 "Terminate All Installation of any "Adult Content" filtering, Relocation, Banning, Viewer Modifications, Server Modifications".

NOTE: If you have no idea what this issue is about, well it was to cast a vote on who thinks SL has a right to stop freedom of Adult Content & sims. SL is trying to take our rights away as Avatars living within the SL Universe. Weather you like adult content or not is not the main issue, it's about our rights & freedoms in Second Life.

This issue was closed by Rob Linden on 2 Jun 2009. RichD Tomsen, who originated the issue, was threatened with banning, and DanielRavenNest Noe actually was banned from the JIRA system for trying to keep it open!

5 new issues have now been added that are aimed at specific technical changes, drawn from all the comments people made. These are:

MISC-2907 Fix Known Bugs in Account Verification system

MISC-2908 Fix Error Messages when Searching for Adult Content

MISC-2909 Fix Search Filter

MISC-2910 Provide Parental control features

MISC-2911 Provide content filters for SL client

Please take a look at them, and comment and vote for them if you are so inclined.

If you would like to help spread the word, there is a list of all the original voters at:

Take a chunk of names, send them this suggested card, or your own, and then mark them done like this:

Name1 Name2......Name n (optionally sign if you want)

Please don't let the Lindens think they can just shut us up, let's show them that this is our world too & we have a say. We have rights in SL, and freedoms!

Thank you..
